Sign Up For Healthcare Unbound

2012 is just the beginning for tremendous growth in the Healthcare Unbound products and services market. Be a leader in this market trend and find out how to effectively meet the needs of this growing evolving market and gain expertise on how to leverage technologies to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. To learn how to execute new profitable ideas be sure to attend the Ninth Annual Healthcare Unbound Conference and Exhibition to be held July 19-20, 2012 at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco California.

The Conference will offer not only timely and practical information but also visionary perspectives. Over the years, the Conference has attracted hundreds of high-level executives and clinicians from across the U.S and abroad.

To meet the enormous needs in this field, the Annual 2012 Conference is targeted to:

Consumer technology companies, including consumer electronics, telecom, wireless, and communication technology companies as well as their partners and suppliers

Pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostics companies as well as contract research organizations

Health plans and employers

Home builders, financiers, security analysts, consultants, and government officials

To meet the needs for a dramatically changing traditional healthcare delivery system, Healthcare Unbound is also attracting a range of companies that previously have not been deeply involved in healthcare such as consumer electronics, telecom, gaming, fitness, and IT companies just to name a few.

Keynote presenters will highlight their newest and greatest ideas related to all the new unbound technologies that are here today or coming in the near future. A partial list follows:

Torben Nielsen, VP eBusiness Strategies and Services for The Regence Group

Chuck Parker, Executive Director, Continua Health Alliance

Many more important speakers and panels to be announced…Stay tuned

Conference attendees will hear vital talks and discussions on such topics as accountable care, reimbursement, regulatory developments, emerging business models, health consumer engagement and behavior change, technology to apply to Baby Boomers and Seniors, emerging wireless applications, the patient centered medical home, technologies used in home care, how to create linkages between EHRs and consumer-facing technologies such as remote monitoring and social media, along with valuable information on how to leverage technologies to improve the health of underserved populations.

It’s important to note that Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities can effectively promote your products and services to key decision-makers at healthcare provider and payer organizations as well as to technology vendors.
